Question about sub accounts
Hello everyone I'm a complete noob because I just bought the deluxe version of PvZ GW2 for my kids. I bought it as a digital download on my account (a master account which is activated for our only P...

Thanks for the help, can I ask a few more questions....
1. Can my boys (who are aged 10 and 7 and both have sub accounts) each register with EA to have an origins account so that they can save their progress? Do you set up the Origins account from within the game or from a PC?
2. I bought the digital game using my master account but I haven't yet played the game or redeemed the codes for the deluxe version so can i let my eldest play the game first from within his sub account so that he gets the deluxe upgrades?
3. So if my eldest starts the game in his sub account and then the youngest wants to play Coop with his big brother....the youngest can press the Playstation button on his controller and select his sub account from the options in order to also save his xp,stars and achievements too (obviously after he has registered for an EA Origins account)? Or must he play as a guest if the game was started in his big brother's account?
So many questions but the info about the Deluxe upgrades being available to only one account was crucial to know before we play for the first time tonight!! Thanks!
reality covered a lot of this. The deluxe upgrades aren't worth worrying about anyway. It's just a couple of skins and a bunch of coins, which they will earn constantly through gameplay anyway. Besides, that bonus is almost certainly tied to your account and yours only already.
To make progress in the game, they will need to be signed into PSN and Origin. If the coop player doesn't get trophies or whatever, that's maybe just the way the game is designed and there's nothing you can do about it. When they sign up with Origin, I have a word of caution about that. When BF4 came out 3 years ago my friend could not play his purchased copy of the game because for some reason his Origin account was flagged as a child account, and there was no way for him to fix it. It must have been a mistake because he is many years past being a child. The EA reps could never resolve the situation either. He ended up creating a new Origin account. Maybe he was unlucky, maybe they've gotten better since then, I don't know. I'm just warning, if there's no downside to giving them a "full" Origin account, you may want to do that.
